Concrete Floor Stenciling

Logos and graphics are a great way to personalize your residential concrete floor or grow your brand by adding your favorite Nascar drivers number or company logo in a commercial or industrial environment. While adding your brand to websites, business cards, truck wraps, coffee mugs and apparel, Black Rhino Floors would be glad to extend your brand voice by adding it to your concrete front entrance, warehouse or factory floor. There are many ways to add graphics to a concrete floor but we use technology that makes it possible to install high quality digital images.

Our Process to install a Mechanically Polished Concrete Floor

In this process we use dyes that stain the concrete in order to achieve the desired outcome.
This is normally applied at the 400 grit polishing step

Design

• Determine the design and color of the logo or pattern

Vinyl Print & Preparation

• Print off the vinyl stencil.
• If there are multiple colors, each color will be on it’s own
        layer (It’s critical to use the correct adhesive vinyl otherwise it
        may leave visible residue behind).

Installation

• Measure and lay out the stencil.
• Tape down the stencil and test stain colors.
• Apply the stencil with a lint cloth and a squeegee tool.
• This process requires two people. Remove one half of the
        backing so the adhesive is exposed and can be adhered to 
        the concrete surface.
• Once the stencil is down. Take your color and begin to apply
        it to the concrete.
• Wipe the excess with acetone.
• When the dye is dry, remove the stencil and repeat these
        steps for as many colors as in your logo, if you have tight
        registration guidelines. If you don’t have tight registration,     
        you can apply multiple colors per stencil layer.

Resume Mechanical Polish Process

• If we are adding color to the entire floor, we would do it at
        this point.
• Densify the concrete (fortifying it from the inside out).
• Continue the polishing process to the agreed upon finish;
        flat, satin, semi-gloss or gloss.
